Elvis Presley
Rock n' Roll Doggie VIP PASS
with the boys from athens packing their toothbrushes and flipflops for a summer of touring, i thought it'd be nice to give 'em some discussion time here.
i used to be a superfan, so it always perks my interest when they surface again from their film and side-projects to the scene where they left a huge impression.
their influence is great, but how great? they flopped (in warner bros. terms) on everything monster and beyond. (who could even calculate the amount of hideously orange monster cds we've all seen in the used bins. you can't bring them up to the buyback person anymore. that must be his/her first training lesson.) their drummer quit after a near-death experience, and they've always sworn they break-up even if one of them left. peter buck seems more interested in li'l old side projects to get his name dropped from everywhere. they don't even live in same timezones anymore, as revealed in an interview with charlie rose.
so what makes you and charlie rose like them?
which album marks their greatest ability? worst?
what songs from which albums still make you sing along even when you still can't make out what mr. stipe is saying?
